#102 (Starflyer 59/Faraway)

<b>Electrelane "The Valleys"</b>
["The Power Out", 2004]
很难说清楚Electrelane到底是什么风格，转投Too Pure门下后，这支在处女作里有“Organ-gazing”嫌疑的暧昧Indie Rock队把那种被掴两掌还面不改色的暧昧玩至更高层面。其实我更喜欢处女作，这张新作太“摇滚”了，有点“艺术青年的奶油Punk”，真别扭，大概只有慢热细节狂感兴趣。像我这样的感官耽美迷只哈一首"The Valleys"，请来Chicago A Capella合唱组大搞“choir rock”，让我莫名其妙想到巨滑头的His Name Is Alive——乍一听而已，要比还真没法跟后者比。

<b>Starflyer 59 "Going Places"</b>
["Everybody Makes Mistakes", 1999]
既然出自Tooth & Nail，Jason Martin的东西就算是Alternative CCM吧，但Starflyer 59这个一人团真的不仅仅是CCM（说实话读他的词看不出哪里算福音了）。听到这张特甜的"Everybody Makes Mistakes"时正是猫死的时候，那时留下的印象真是无比bittersweet，有点可怕。如果这是福音，那末是哪一首来超度那只早夭的小猫？"Going Place"是标准的Dream-pop，标准得有点过分，无可剔骨，“这种境界稍有过火或稍有不及”，那种“细腻娇嫩的气息就会给破坏”（迅雨《论张爱玲的小说》）。这不是赞语，情结里的东西没有必要加糖来调味。这只是爱。

Pictures on a doorstep and no lack of hesitation
Need a drummer, cause I've got imagination
You know we're going places I don't wanna go
Just stand off, I'll stack your face and pretend you look good

We don't wanna play because we've tracked an education
Lead us when you see we've got the motivation
You know we're going places I don't wanna go
Just stand off, I'll stack your face and pretend you look good
You know we're going places I don't wanna go
Just stand off, I'll stack your face and pretend you look good

You know we're going places I don't wanna go
Just stand off, I'll stack your face and pretend you look good
You know we're going places I don't wanna go
Just stand off, I'll stack your face and pretend you look good

Going places...

<b>Bon Voyage "Advice"</b>
["The Right Amount", 2002]
说完Starflyer 59就不得不提Jason Martin和老婆的另一个团Bon Voyage，上次写的"Together"兴许还把人蜜得有点不知所以然，那末试试这首"Advice"。没其他可说的了，依旧援用上文：“……细腻娇嫩的气息就会给破坏，从而带走了作品全部的魅力，然而这巧妙的技术，本身不过是一种迷人的奢侈；倘使不把它当作完成主题的手段，那么，充其量也只能制造一些小骨董。……”再中肯不过。

<b>Faraway "Jaminji"</b>
["Far From The Madding Crowd", 1998]
澳洲男女档Faraway被人喻作Louisa John-Krol与Dead Can Dance合体，也正是这种比喻让我不舒服，没听就感觉是：啊，Post-Global？Ethnic Fusion？兴趣大灭，于是乎听见Liz Van Dort的唱就先入为主得不行地不爽，还是William Williamson的器乐漂亮些，嗯，虽然说不出他的手法跟一些现代器乐New Age相较有何过人之处。悦耳就算了呗。找封面时才发现这个碟2002年让Prikosnovenie重版（第二个封面便是），顿时一阵恶晕——
